附：《阅读·久久为功》 一、背主题名句，写大气文章 1．(教材名句)The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanise production. The Second used electric power to create mass production.The Third used electronics and information technology to automate production. —Klaus Martin Schwab 第一次工业革命使用水蒸气作动力，实现了生产机械化。第二次通过电力实现大规模生产。第三次是利用电子和信息技术，实现自动化生产。 ——克劳斯·马丁·施瓦布 2．(教材名句)Technology is anything that wasn't around when you were born. —Alan Kay 技术是你出生后发明的任何东西。 ——艾伦·凯 3．(教材名句)The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. —Bill Gates 因特网正逐渐成为明日地球村的城镇广场。 ——比尔·盖茨 4．(教材名句)We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain. —Stephen Hawking 我们现在都被互联网连接起来，就像大脑中的神经元一样。 ——斯蒂芬·霍金 5．The challenge for our generation is to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose. —Zuckerberg 我们这代人面临的挑战是：创造一个人人都能有使命感的世界。 ——扎克伯格 6．We're here to put a dent in the universe.Otherwise why else even be here？ — Steve Jobs 活着就是为了改变世界，难道还有其他原因吗？ ——史蒂夫·乔布斯 7．If you miss the Internet, you will pass by not only the opportunity, but a whole era. 如果错过互联网，与你擦肩而过的不仅是机会，而且是整整一个时代。 8．The online world is not arbitrary, but it needs to follow common rules like the real world. 网络世界不是随心所欲，它和现实世界一样需要遵循共同的规则。 二、课文不厌百遍读，书中自有“黄金屋” Lesson 1　Avatars(虚拟形象) ________________________________________________________________________________ The avatar you choose says a lot about you.The article will help you understand your choice of avatars better. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 你选择的虚拟形象能透露出你的很多信息。这篇文章将帮助你更好地理解关于虚拟形象的选择。 ———————————————————————————————————————— When you are online, you can be anyone or anything. You can create your own image and a new personality. communicate and express themselves. The first simple 2D avatars appeared in role-playing computer games in the 1980s. Yet, very few people knew that future avatars would have such a wide variety of forms and uses. By the late 1990s, ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 当你上网时，你可以是任何人或任何事物。你可以创设自己的形象，并且拥有新的个性。这些数字身份，被称作“虚拟形象”，这是人们利用互联网进行交流和表达自己的关键部分。 二维虚拟形象最早出现在20世纪80年代的角色扮演电脑游戏中，当时，很少有人知道虚拟形象后来会有如此广泛的形式和用途。20世纪90年代末，虚拟形象被用于网络聊天。 [难句破解]　句①：句子的主干是These digital identities are a key part。其中known as avatars是过去分词短语作定语； how people ... express themselves是宾语从句。 句②：By the late 1990s作状语，谓语使用了过去完成时的被动语态。 ———————————————————————————————————————— power to create new identities that did not look or act like their real selves at all. They could dress their avatars in fancy clothes, or they could try being someone of the opposite sex, and call themselves “Andy” instead of “Anna”！ When Internet users realised that their avatars ④ would be seen by many people, not just their friends, they started having more than one avatar: a sensible one for work; a friendly, good-looking one for meeting people; and a silly one for having fun. Avatars let you express yourself and give you lots of room for creativity. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 人们开始创设自己的虚拟形象时，他们发现自己将有能力创设一种新的身份，这种身份在相貌和行为上可以与真正的自我完全不同。他们可以给自己的虚拟形象穿上华丽的衣服，或者尝试换个性别，可以给自己取名为“安迪”，而不是“安娜”。当互联网用户意识到很多人会看到他们的虚拟形象，而不仅仅是他们的朋友时，他们开始使用不止一个虚拟形象：一个朴素实用的虚拟形象用于工作；一个友好的、好看的虚拟形象用于交友；一个傻乎乎的虚拟形象用于取乐。虚拟形象让你可以表达自己，还给你很多创造空间。 [难句破解]　句③：when引导时间状语从句，第一个that引导宾语从句，其中含有that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词new identities。 句④：when引导时间状语从句，其中含有that引导的宾语从句。 ———————————————————————————————————————— Of course, the avatar you choose says a lot about your personality. If your blog avatar is a picture of a cute cat, your message is “I like relaxing and having fun”. Well-known cartoon characters or laughing monkeys say “I'm a really funny person”. Most people create avatars that have similar However, nearly all avatars are tall, young and nice-looking, so people obviously make their avatars look better than they do in real life. about what they want to look like. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 当然，你所选择的虚拟形象会在很大程度上显露你的个性。如果你的博客头像是一只可爱的猫，你传递的信息是“我喜欢放松和享受”。知名的卡通角色或微笑的猴子传递的信息是“我是个很有趣的人”。大多数人创设的虚拟形象与他们的个性有着相似的特征，看起来或多或少像他们，在行为上也像他们。然而，几乎所有的虚拟形象都个头高挑、样貌年轻、面容姣好，所以人们显然想让他们的虚拟形象看起来比现实生活中更好。人们还进行新的尝试，例如换上不同的发型，这可能从很大程度上透露了他们希望自己看起来是什么样子。 [难句破解]　句⑤：两个that引导的都是定语从句，修饰同一个先行词avatars。 句⑥：which引导非限制性定语从句；what引导宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。 ———————————————————————————————————————— Nowadays, avatars are everywhere. In most web chats, people choose an avatar from a selection of ready-made images, or create their own images. talk when you type in your message. The avatars in online worlds can talk, walk and fly around, meet people, go shopping and attend classes. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 现在，虚拟形象无处不在。在大多数网络聊天中，人们都是从现成的图片中选择一个作为虚拟形象，或者创建自己的图片。当你输入信息时，你也可以让虚拟形象活动起来或说话。网络世界中的虚拟形象可以交谈、走路、飞行，还可以结识他人、购物和上课。 [难句破解]　句⑦：that引导定语从句，修饰先行词avatars; when引导时间状语从句。 ———————————————————————————————————————— The use of avatars has also caused a few concerns. Some users worry that they are spending so much time in virtual worlds that they are becoming afraid of meeting people in the real world. ⑧ The use of several avatars can also be a risk, as people can use avatars to cheat others online. However, other users view avatars in a more positive light. real person and travel around bigger, more exciting virtual worlds. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 虚拟形象的使用也引起了一些担忧。一些用户担心他们在虚拟世界中花费了太多时间，以至于开始害怕在现实世界中与人见面。使用多个虚拟形象也可能会带来风险，因为有人可能会在网上使用虚拟形象来欺骗他人。但是，其他用户则以更为积极的态度看待虚拟形象。他们期待着有朝一日，自己的虚拟形象会像真人一样去环游更广阔、更精彩的虚拟世界。 [难句破解]　句⑧：第一个that引导宾语从句，其中包含so ... that ...结构，引导结果状语从句。 句⑨：when引导定语从句，修饰先行词a time。 Lesson 3　Internet and Friendships(网络和友谊) The Internet Harms Friendships (互联网对友谊有害) ———————————————————————————————————————— it can also harm friendships. Firstly, talking online is no replacement for face-to-face contact — images really cannot replace a real-life smile or hug.According to a parenting expert, Denise Daniels, communicating through a screen . important social skills are developed through direct contact with other people. lifelong friendships. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 虽然互联网可以让人们更亲近，但它也会损害友谊。 首先，网上聊天并不能代替面对面的交流——图片当然无法代替现实生活中的微笑或拥抱。根据育儿专家丹尼斯·丹尼尔斯的说法，通过屏幕交流会使儿童更难集中注意力或对他人表示善意。众所周知，重要的社交技能是通过直接与他人接触培养的，正是这些技能使我们发展终生的友谊。 [难句破解]　句①：while引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然”。 句②：communicating ...是v.-ing短语作主语；“make it＋adj.＋for sb.＋to do”结构中，it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式to concentrate or show kindness to others。 句③：as引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个主句的内容。 句④：强调句型，强调主语“these skills”。 ———————————————————————————————————————— Secondly, the Internet can make people self-centred — not thinking of anyone or anything but themselves. For example, instead of having proper conversations with their friends, some people are only concerned with their online popularity — How many “likes” did I get？ How many ⑤ followers do I have？— though we know that the number of“likes” or followers cannot compare to having long-term and rewarding friendships. In addition, a lot of the content posted on social media is shallow or trivial.Posts about funny cat images do not necessarily help form meaningful relationships. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 其次，互联网使人们以自我为中心，不去想除自己之外的任何人或任何事。例如，一些人不再和朋友好好地交谈了，他们只关心自己在网上的人气——我得了多少个“赞”？多少人关注了我？——尽管我们知道有多少“赞”或关注者无法与拥有长期和有益的友谊相比。此外，很多发布在社交媒体上的内容都很肤浅或琐碎。在网上发布搞笑猫咪的图片并不一定会帮助我们发展有意义的关系。 [难句破解]　句⑤：本句主干是 some people are only concerned with their online popularity。破折号之间的两个疑问句是对前面内容的解释和说明；though引导让步状语从句，其中含有一个that引导的宾语从句。 ———————————————————————————————————————— Thirdly, online relationships may not be what they appear to be. Friendships are built on the basis of trust， and with online communication you can never be 100 percent sure that the people ⑥ you are chatting to are being honest about who they are. for people who are easily influenced or too trusting. In my opinion, friends should focus more on face-to-face communication, and less on online communication.This is the best way to maintain healthy relationships. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 第三，网络关系可能并不是它们看起来的样子。友谊建立在信任的基础上，通过线上交流，你永远不能百分之百地确信与你交谈的人是否以诚相待。因此，对于那些容易受影响或过于信任他人的人来说，上网尤其危险。 在我看来，朋友们应该多关注面对面的交流，少进行线上交流。这是保持健康关系的最佳方式。 [难句破解]　句⑥：and连接并列句；第二个分句中that引导宾语从句；you are chatting to是省略关系词的定语从句，修饰先行词the people；who they are是宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。 句⑦：who引导定语从句，修饰先行词people。 The Internet Helps Friendships(互联网对友谊有益) ———————————————————————————————————————— The Internet can help develop friendships in many ways. Firstly, the Internet makes communication much more convenient. no matter where you are or what you are doing.Using a smartphone, a tablet or a computer, you can be in contact at home and also when you are on the move. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 互联网在很多方面都有助于友谊发展。 首先，互联网使交流更加便捷。无论你在哪里，在做什么，都可以和朋友保持联系。通过使用智能手机、平板电脑或电脑，无论你在家里还是在外面都能与他人联络。 [难句破解]　句⑧：or为并列连词，连接两个“no matter＋特殊疑问词”引导的让步状语从句，what you are doing前省略了no matter。 ———————————————————————————————————————— Secondly, the Internet has also made communication more fun. Traditional ways of communicating，like letters and phone calls, can be limiting and take time.However, you can share photos, videos, news stories and websites with your friends online.You can give a brief response to a message with an emoji or a picture. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 其次，互联网也使交流变得更加有趣。传统的沟通方式，如信件和电话，限制条件较多，而且比较耗时。而通过互联网，你可以在线与朋友共享照片、视频、新闻故事和网站。你可以用一个表情符号或一张图片简短地回复信息。你可以使用这么多的在线工具，让交流变得有创意！ [难句破解]　句⑨：you can use to be creative是省略了关系词的定语从句，修饰先行词tools。 ———————————————————————————————————————— Thirdly, online communication can actually bring people closer to each other.Nowadays, your friends are just a click away., friends from all over the world can immediately provide useful suggestions or information.This makes friends feel loved and cared for.To me, this is a very thought-provoking argument, as it points out the benefits of online friendships. As Eileen Kennedy­Moore， an authority on the subject， points out， online friends ⑪ “fill holes real­life friends can't”． Finally, I believe the Internet brings people closer together and makes communication with friends more convenient and interesting. ———————————————————————————————————————— [课文对译] 第三，在线交流实际上可以让人们更亲近。现在，只要点一下鼠标，就能找到你的朋友。无论何时有人需要帮助，来自世界各地的朋友可以立即提供有用的建议或信息。这能让朋友们感到被爱和被关心。对我来说，这非常发人深省，因为它指出了线上友谊的好处。正如这个领域的权威人士艾琳·肯尼迪·摩尔所指出的，网络朋友“填补了现实生活中朋友无法填补的空白”。 最后，我相信互联网能使人们更紧密地联系在一起，让朋友间的交流更加方便和有趣。 [难句破解]　句⑩：Whenever引导让步状语从句，相当于No matter when。 句⑪：As引导非限制性定语从句；real-life friends can't为省略了关系词的定语从句，修饰先行词holes, can't 后省略了动词fill。 三、词汇记忆无诀窍，适时“回首”记得牢 Topic Talk 1．app n．　　　　　　　　　 应用程序 2．enable vt. 使可能，使发生 3．convenience n. 方便，便利 搭配|at one's convenience 在某人方便的时候 拓展|convenient adj. 便利的；方便的 4．effect n. 效应；影响 搭配 拓展 5．impact n. 作用；影响 6．self-focused adj. 以自我为中心的；关注自我的 7．addicted adj. 对……着迷的；沉迷的 搭配 拓展 8．indeed adv. 确实；当然 9．download vt. 下载 联想|upload vt. 上传 10．recommendation n. 建议，提议；推荐 拓展|recommend vt. 推荐；建议 11．super adj. 极好的，了不起的 同义|wonderful/excellent/great 12．avatar n.

You've asked me about the influence of the Internet on the learning ways of our Chinese students. Now let me introduce it to you. First of all, students are able to choose subjects on the Internet according to their levels, interests and needs. Then, they can just stay at home and study in a virtual-reality school. When they put on their 3D image glasses, they will feel as though they were actually in a classroom having lessons. Besides, after class, students can get their homework sent to them by the teacher according to their different performances. In short, the Internet plays an important role in the new ways of learning. Yours， Li Hua 写作话题 2　短视频大赛 China Daily正在举办以“Discover Beautiful China”为主题的摄影和短视频大赛。请你代表校学生会写一份英文通知，内容包括： 1．介绍活动相关信息； 2．呼吁同学们参加。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Notice 　__________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ [推荐范文] Notice An interesting contest is being held by China Daily to collect photos and short videos displaying the beautiful country of China.

The Students' Union (二)单元主题优美语段背诵 语段1　网上上传视频 That video was posted online on Monday.To my surprise, soon my video was followed by a sea of likes, my mailbox flooded with similar stories. My big red nose and my sore chin became netizens' favorite topic. A little embarrassed as I was, a wave of warmth welled up inside. Then a good idea flashed across my mind.“Isn't it a good idea to share stories online to choose the funniest？” I told Jason, jumping with joy.“Amazing! Let's call it Pumpkin's Competition.” Jason giggled. 这段视频是在星期一发布在网上的。令我惊讶的是，很快，我的视频就收到了一片点赞，我的邮箱里充斥着类似的故事。我的大红色鼻子和酸痛的下巴成了网友们最喜欢的话题。虽然我有点不好意思，但一股暖意涌上心头。然后一个好主意闪过我的脑海。“在网上分享故事，选出最有趣的，这不是一个好主意吗？”我告诉杰森，高兴地跳了起来。“太棒了！让我们称之为‘南瓜比赛’吧。”杰森咯咯笑道。 语段2　互联网创造奇迹 Luckily, the Internet did its thing. It's a bit of a modern-day wonder that would never have happened without social media. Mara's story was quickly and continuously spread via the Internet. Several days later, with anxiety and worry, Mara finally got positive feedback. Mara said she got an email from someone. The sender told her the bear was on the way back. On Tuesday night, Mara's bear came home. The email was from the woman who sent the bear back. She told Mara that she was deeply touched by Mara's story. She didn't want the reward, just hoping that Mara could live a happy life in the future. Mara is getting married next summer and the bear is going to have a special seat at the ceremony — the one her mother would sit in. For now, she's keeping Mama Bear close and sending thanks to those who helped with the happy reunion. 幸运的是，互联网确实做到了。如果没有社交媒体，这种现代奇迹就永远不会发生。玛拉的故事通过互联网不断地迅速传播开。几天后，带着焦虑和担心，玛拉终于得到了积极的反馈。玛拉说她收到了某人的电子邮件。寄件人告诉她，这只熊正在回来的路上。周二晚上，玛拉的熊回家了。 这封邮件是寄熊的女士发的。她告诉玛拉，她被玛拉的故事深深感动了。她不想要奖励，只是希望玛拉将来能过上幸福的生活。玛拉将于明年夏天结婚，这只熊将在婚礼上有一个特殊的座位——她母亲会坐的座位。现在，她一直和熊妈妈在一起，并向那些帮助她们幸福团聚的人表示感谢。 五、主题集群阅读，拓展主题认知 时尚悦读(一)　社交媒体脱瘾 Moderator Today marks the last day of the Social Media Detox, Brenton High's fundraising campaign for new sports equipment.At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days.This meant no messaging friends, no posting photos, no blogging — nothing.They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media.They were excited.They were nervous.But could they do it? With the detox now finished, they've switched on their devices and they're back online.I bet you're as eager as I am to find out just how many have been motivated enough to last the full seven days! And what, if anything, has been learnt from the experience? Anna　17 I lasted two days. I felt like I had lost an arm! But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone.I'm now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies. Devon　16 I lasted four days.On Monday, my classmate and I spoke about what we did at the weekend — it felt really strange not to already know what he had done. We would usually have posted pictures and updated our profiles. It made me Cindy　18 I managed the whole week! At first, I really felt I was missing out.Then, instead of messaging my friend, I went round to her house.Without our phones, we had a proper conversation for over two hours, without being distracted by messages from other people.It felt so good! Then I decided to visit a different friend every day.By the fifth day, I wondered — was I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to? George　16 I did all seven days, too! to my dad to avoid giving in! My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone, so he took me to check out our local sports centre.An hour's sport each day left me tired out and wanting to go to bed early.The detox made me healthier! Max　17 I'm embarrassed to say that I threw in the towel on the first day! I knew there was a party happening that evening, but without access to social media I couldn't remember where it was! In the end, I turned on my phone to check, but couldn't resist having a quick look at my social media accounts.What's worse, I then spent so much time catching up on news, I almost missed the party! Moderator The detox raised a total of ￡1,632.82 for new school sports equipment! Well done, everyone who took part! After reading the posts on this forum, it seems that something other than money has also been raised through the detox.Awareness of just how much we rely on social media can help us step away from it and communicate with each other better. [难句破解] 句①：本句是“主语＋be＋adj.(＋for sb.)＋to do sth.”句型结构，不定式是主动形式表示被动意义，其中than引导比较状语从句。 句②：本句使用了虚拟语气，表示对过去情况的虚拟，谓语动词用了would have done结构；Not eating for two days是动名词短语作主语。 句③：Doing the detox是动名词短语作主语；meant后面跟的是省略that的宾语从句，其中又含有what引导的宾语从句。 句④：made me realise是“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，其中宾语补足语是省略了to的不定式；that I had forgotten是定语从句，修饰先行词contact。 句⑤：but 连接并列句。第一个分句中使用了“find＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，不定式短语to be honest是独立成分；第二个分句中did give是“do/does/did＋动词原形”结构，用来强调谓语动词。 [助读译文] 主持人 布伦顿高中为给购置新的体育设备筹款，举办了一项名为“社交媒体脱瘾”的活动。今天是活动的最后一天。脱瘾活动初期，我们成功说服100多名学生连续七天不得使用任何形式的社交媒体。这就意味着他们在这段时间内不能给朋友发短信，不能上传照片，不能发博客，与社交媒体相关的任何形式的活动都不行。脱离社交媒体的每一天，他们都能收到来自家人和朋友的奖励金。对此，他们很兴奋，也很紧张。但他们真的能做到吗？ 如今，脱瘾活动已结束，他们纷纷开启电子设备，重返网络。相信你和我一样，迫切想知道多少人有足够的动力坚持了整整七天！而他们，又从此次经历中学到了什么？ 安娜　17岁 我坚持了两天。社交媒体脱瘾比我预期的更加难以忍受。没了社交媒体，就像缺少一只胳膊一般。让我饿两天可能还更轻松些！但一番反思后，我也意识到平日花在看手机上的时间太多了。现在，我正试图减少上网时间，把更多精力用于重拾自己的爱好。 德文　16岁 我坚持了四天。周一，我和同学讨论了周末各自的活动——我并不知道他都做了些什么，这感觉太奇怪了。因为平时我们都会上传照片，更新各自的动态。参与这次脱瘾活动，意味着我们不得不互相交流并向对方解释自己的所做所想。这也让我意识到已经遗忘了的真正沟通的重要性。 辛迪　18岁 我坚持了整整一周！ 最初，我真的感觉自己错过了无数消息。但我忍住没给朋友发消息，而是直接去了她家。没有手机的我们，好好地聊了两个多小时，没有被其他人的消息干扰，这感觉真棒！接下来我决定每天去见一位不同的朋友。到第五天时我在想，当我不再忙于查看手机关注他人生活的时候，我真的错过了很多吗？ 乔治　16岁 我也坚持了整整七天！说实话，我觉得社交媒体脱瘾没那么难，但为了让自己不要半途而废，我还是把手机上交给爸爸了。哥哥觉得我应该充分规划好没有手机的日子，因此他带我去了我们当地的体育中心。每天一小时的运动让人筋疲力尽，想早点上床休息。脱瘾活动让我更健康了！ 马克斯　17岁 我都不好意思说自己第一天就打了退堂鼓。 脱瘾活动开始的当晚有个聚会，但如果不靠社交媒体的话，我怎么也想不起地点在哪儿！最后我还是打开手机查看了一下，结果没忍住，偷看了一眼我的社交媒体账户。更糟的是，我花了大把时间刷新动态，差点错过了本该要去的聚会！ 主持人 此次脱瘾活动总共为学校募集了1 632.82 英镑，用于购置新的体育设备！每位参与者都做得很棒！看了论坛上的各个帖子，这次活动对人们的影响似乎远远不止通过活动筹集到的钱。脱瘾活动还让我们意识到自己对社交媒体的依赖程度，从而帮助我们摆脱它的束缚，更好地互相沟通。 时尚悦读(二)　通过面部识别寻找山狮 Researchers based in the greater Yellowstone National Park area have figured out a new way to identify mountain lions by using facial recognition.And this method is proving to be a better way to monitor these highly elusive creatures. Mountain lions are just really, really hard to directly observe.They're just so cryptic and secretive. The researchers have had to find these non-invasive methods, because they're often called to get information about a mountain lion population. Kelly, Wyoming, who led the research project. One tool that researchers like Alexander are using is a camera trap.The traps, which are about path, like a tree that the puma has territorially scraped. When motion is detected, the trap gets triggered, resulting in a snapshot of the mountain lion as it strolls by. The cameras even have an infrared Researchers around the world use this type of tool to estimate population numbers and overall abundance of species.They comb through the images, sometimes using machine learning algorithms, and analyze them to identify individuals.
